    For those that would bother to read the article, the ‘victim’ flipped off the cop while driving.

    Flipping off a cop is perfectly legal. The person you hate because and only because he’s trans is a victim of police brutality.

    but the excessive force is just as likely to come from being flipped off

    The excessive force is because a pig was abusing his little piggy authority.

      Imagine thinking that almost beating someone to death is a rational, normal consequence of flipping someone off. I couldn’t.

        I’m sure some conservative will be along in a few minutes to insist that the beating was just a joke.

            back in my day the police murdered us for not working, or not working enough, or working too much, or wanting to work, for relaxing, not relaxing, relaxing too much, not relaxing enough, sleeping, not sleeping, sleeping too much, not sleeping enough and walking around existing and we liked it that way
